Inspiration is a feeling that stimulates your brain to do something productive/creative.

That feeling can come from anywhere in different ways. It can come from existing ideas, surroundings, activities etc. or the imaginary world of your own mind you engage with.

Inspiration is everywhere. It is just about the timing and the state of your mind when it allows you to be able to find the inspiration. Inspiration leads you to an idea to be creative. It can come to you as a positive inspiration or negative inspiration.

Positive inspiration comes to you from a source with positive vibes. It may include :

  • Motivational speeches/books/articles
  • Appreciation/recognition you deserve
  • Nature
  • Learning something new
  • Music you love
  • Goals you achieve
  • Making someone happy
  • Passion you follow
  • Your capabilities
  • Act of kindness
  • Helping others
  • Your strengths

Negative inspiration comes from a source causing unpleasant emotions those hurt your ego. It makes you more determined and motivated. It may include:

  • Words like “you can’t …”
  • Challenges you face
  • Mistakes you make
  • Failure you experience
  • Criticism
  • Your weaknesses
  • Insecurities
  • Humiliation
  • Rejections
  • Other people’s achievements (it can be both positive or negative inspiration depending upon what you feel about it)
